Nice and warm dinner in the cold evening. We added the kimchi to the the chicken broth and it turned out to be really tasty and we drank the soup till the last drop! No regrets and will definitely recommend for a 2nd visit!

If you ever want to try delicious and nice boiled chicken with soup in Seoul, this is the must go place !!! Dakhanmari is a local Korean delicacies using whole chicken and boiled in soup. Jinokhwa has been in service for more than 30 years and if you ever want to try nice food, you have to go to a...

This is not ginseng soup but the chicken stock is nice. Especially after boiling for a while with garlic and the chicken. The chicken is very tender. Although the soup base is very clear, u that can't stop drinking it. It's comes with minimum 1 chicken and it's just nice for 3 pax. U can order ramen after finishing the...

Queued for awhile to get my seat and was puzzled to see a half cook chicken in a pot of water in front of me.. Have to wait for it to cook for another 15 mins and noted many locals putting chilli and kimchi into the pot to give it more taste. My thought on a broth dish is the...

The chicken soup looks so simple but tastes really amazing. The location is a little bit hard to find though. But that doesn't stop the guests to keep coming to this place. It's very crowded and sometimes you might even have to queue to get the table.

Located at back alley narrow lane, with 2 other similar shops. But this is the most popular. They led us to the tatami area where you need to take off your Shoes. Open air with air cooler and standing fans. Kids might feel hot, and make sure you keep them away from the fire. Once you get seated, they will...

I would never recommend this to anybody because of my terrible experience in this restaurant.
We were a group of 5 and we could only speak ENGLISH or our mother tongue. After we placed the order, a Korean female staff talked to us in Mandarin Chinese RUDELY AND VERY FAST which we could hardly understand. She then felt annoying when...

This so-called famous place is extremely overrated! I totally agree it's just chicken and noodles. It's a pot of broth with LOADS of MSG and a whole chicken.
What annoyed me was that they did not allow us to add noodles until we are midway through. Apparently it will "affect" their food quality. WHAT??? It is my choice however I...

Staying in Gwanghwamun / Jongno

Neighbourhood Profile

Gwanghwamun / Jongno

If Gwanghwamun is the unofficial living room of Seoul, Jongno is the main hallway connecting some of Seoul’s most important historic sites and neighbourhoods. Being one of Seoul’s oldest neighbourhoods, the area is rich with history and culture in its palaces, shrines, and temples. Stand in the centre of Gwanghwamun Square with Gyeongbokgung Palace and Mt. Bugak in front of you, King Sejong the Great statue behind you, and modern office buildings encircling you—it’s one of the best ways to experience both past and present Seoul in one spot. The main street of Jongno is mostly dotted with restaurants and cafes, but explore deeper within its intricate alleys to pass decades-old restaurants, mom-and-pop shops, and pojangmachas (tents that open at night for quick bites and drinks) and life seems to run just as it did a decade or two ago. Don’t forget to stop at Gwangjang Market, Korea’s oldest traditional market, where it’s just as fun to explore as it is to eat the affordable market dishes that locals have been enjoying since the market first opened in 1905. For a break from urban life, walk along the restored Cheonggyecheon Stream that runs parallel to Jongno for a moment of natural refuge in metropolitan Seoul.
